Actually, I don't think his comparison of political parties to street gangs is off the mark, or over the top, at all. And other than the NASCAR uniform thing, there's very little that he says in that article I disagree with. |

I met the man on several occasions. We didn't really like each other. I ticked him off at the Governor's mansion during a meeting. Golly, I am so glad I did that. No regrets at all for that one.

Including his offer to run as VP for Ron Paul or the Libertarian? Well, those are certainly interesting options.

Oh, don't get me wrong - Jesse Ventura is a grade A fruitcake. But you know what they say about even a blind pig...

A Philly station interviewed him a few day's ago. The host practically called him an idiot. Ventura is into our Government was behind 9-11. And every war we ever fought was started by a plot by our Govt. |

I really have high hopes for the next four months. I hope Mr. Ventura is just the tip of the iceberg. Guys like him invite people to participate and think about what's going on. NASCAR uniforms - genius! |

The Confederate soldier was peculiar in that he was ever ready to fight, but never ready to submit to the routine duty and discipline of the camp or the march. The soldiers were determined to be soldiers after their own notions, and do their duty, for the love of it, as they thought best. Carlton McCarthy | |

I don't see what the problem with the NASCAR uniforms is. They wouldn't look any more ridiculous than attempting to look like one of the guys by wearing mom jeans, and it would actually communicate something useful to the voters they are trying to win over. |

Jesse always gets people talking. And, yes, he gets people involved, if only to oppose him.
